Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Like, I don't have a problem with people just... not engaging with an issue that does not directly concern them, you can't be worrying about everything at once.
But if you *are* going to engage with it, don't do a half-assed job of it, and actually take it seriously

Very tired of people insisting on Having Opinions about sensitive political issues without doing the work to understand the background needed to assess them

Ansible: *sinks Synapse for a bit as it's restarting the container*
Element: now that is an Avengers level threat

Oh and also, Dewey, and anyone else who needs to hear this...
Starting HRT is not an irreversible leap off a cliff. If you wanna experiment with hormones for a bit, and decide you don't like them, that's absolutely 100% chill and no trans person that isn't a sucky truscummy piece of shit is going to be mad at you about that.
re: police violence, propaganda
@marlies This is a time-tested tactic in NL, unfortunately, the same has been happening for many years with squatters, and it's always remarkable how specific news outlets like the Telegraaf are always suspiciously up-to-date on where these violent evictions are happening
These are different things with different levels of urgency for fucks sake
It continues to immensely frustrate me how Element shows a disconnection in the tray icon with the same visual language as an outstanding notification, which itself is the same as an unsent message

Somewhere in the space between Yahoo! and AOL., CompuServe dot com still exists somehow.
For my first project in #Factorio circuit networks, I ended up building a fully automated order-picking train station (that works with logistic trains), with a resettable counter of picked items, because that is totally a beginner project
@nat That's honestly not a very good example; JS is specifically known for its "never break old code" policy (which is why 30 year old websites still work today), and the canonical dependency management (with npm) is isolated to the project so you could leave the dependencies frozen in time for a given application forever without anything else on the system ever getting in the way.
Sure, you *can* update your dependencies. And sometimes you may *need* to do so because of security issues - that is fundamental to network-connected software, and not a thing the language has control over. But it is an entirely valid, and viable, option to just leave your JS thing entirely untouched for a decade and run it like it was built yesterday.

General announcement for #NixOS contributors and users: registration is now open for the governance proceedings! You can participate if you have at least one contribution (of any kind) to NixOS or its ecosystem. 
Instructions here if you use Github and that is where your contribution was: https://github.com/NixOS/foundation/issues/143
Or otherwise, instructions here (approval may take a bit longer): https://discourse.nixos.org/t/zulip-for-governance-discussions/44684
While I do not want to declare victory prematurely, the successful operation of the NixOS governance talks so far is an extremely big deal to me, for personal reasons that I don't quite want to go into *yet*

The thing that surprises me the most about Timberborn is how many ways different mechanics interact. I'm16 hours into it now and I've multiple times discovered things that completely changed how I approach solving problems in the game.
@Whovian9369 It can be followed publicly at https://nixpkgs.zulipchat.com, but participation requires project involvement: https://github.com/NixOS/foundation/issues/143
If you care about community governance topics, then you should probably be paying attention to the #NixOS governance talks right about now :)

so I just realized I did a sizable project and never posted about it publically
last year I spent a few months on and off reverse engineering Pinball Fantasies (a 1992 video game; originally for Amiga, though I was reversing the more polished DOS port) with the intent of doing a game engine recreation, and then rewrote the logic as a Rust program
you can grab the result here: https://github.com/wanda-phi/pfr/ ; if you're interested in the internals of a 1992 DOS game written by demoscene people, I wrote down some (rather incomplete) notes here: https://github.com/wanda-phi/pfr/blob/main/TECH.md
I'd also like to thank @domi for porting this thing to browser environment with WASM, and hosting the result: https://pfr.sakamoto.pl/
enjoy!

a short trans person doing things, call that a microtransaction
